Additional Notes
- The Mitsubishi Galant V (EU) manual transaxle fluid capacity splits into two distinct values across the 1984-1988 range: 2.3 liters for the 1.6 and 2.0 petrol variants, and 2.1 liters for the 1.8 Turbo Diesel and 2.0 Turbo variants.
- The 2.3-liter fill capacity associated with the 1.6 and 2.0 petrol engines reflects a slightly larger transaxle housing volume compared to the 2.1-liter figure seen in the turbocharged configurations.
- All four variants share an identical check interval of every 20,000 km or 24 months under normal use conditions, meaning fluid level verification is scheduled on the same cycle regardless of engine type.
- The change interval is uniformly set at 80,000 km or 96 months across all four variants under normal use conditions, placing a full drain-and-refill service at roughly four times the frequency of a routine level check.
- The 96-month time limit on the change interval equals eight years, which means a low-mileage vehicle driven well under 80,000 km in that period would still reach the service threshold on calendar time alone.
- The 1.8 Turbo Diesel covers the widest model year span in the specifications, running from 1984-1988, while the petrol and 2.0 Turbo variants are listed only for 1985-1987.
- The 2.0 Turbo shares the same 2.1-liter transaxle capacity and identical check and change intervals as the 1.8 Turbo Diesel, despite the two engines differing in fuel type and displacement.
